Mull Historical Society releases new album

Colin MacIntyre marks the tenth anniversary of his debut album ‘Loss’ with the first Mull Historical Society album since 2005.

Titled ‘City Awakenings’, the album is MacIntyre’s first under a new deal with Xtra Mile Recordings (Frank Turner, I Am The Avalanche) and will be released on January 23^rd.  

The album campaign will be managed throughout mainland Europe via Xtra Mile's partnership with Kartel.

 The album and early accompanying live shows have already received critical acclaim in the UK, with 4* reviews in The Guardian, The Independent, Q Magazine amongst others.  In addition lead single 'The Lights' added to a host of radio playlists, including the BBC Wales, BBC Scotland, XFM London and the B-list on BBC Radio 2.

Produced by the Grammy-winning Dom Morley (Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Grinderman), ‘City Awakenings’ features ten new MacIntyre compositions which offer a tribute to Glasgow, London and New York; the three cities which have most influenced the musician as an islander abroad.

MacIntyre also co-produced the album's closer ‘Thameslink (London's Burning)’, which he first performed on acoustic guitar at his father’s funeral (his father’s death inspired ‘Loss’).

Mull Historical Society will embark on a string of headline tour dates in 2012to support the album - details TBA.
